The Office Affair
Written by: Knarly Otaku
Summary: He's a jerk. I'm a whore. He's my boss. I'm his slave. He's my drug. I'm his consumer…
Disclaimer: Kishimoto owns Naruto.
A/N: Yes… Really late update… I have a life you know. It's the summer. Time to go out! Well, I give my deepest apologies, but now I'm back full with ideas. So I'm going to start off a little slow.
Recap:
"I love you." Naruto says before closing his eyes.
I try to say something, but nothing comes out. I pretend to be tired.
I close my eyes and wonder if I really love him…
By the time I woke up, I notice the smell of sizzling eggs and bacon in the air. I sit up on my bed to see Naruto leaning against the door with a mug in his hands. I wriggle my way out of bed and yawn, my mind still groggy. I look out the window and see that the sky is brightly lit by the sun.
"Oh, my god! What time is it?!" I exclaim as I pull a drawer open.
Things go flying everywhere. You name it: camisoles, shirts, bras, panties, pants, skirts…
"Calm down, we still have an hour 'til 8." Naruto chuckles
I look up to him. He's fully dressed in a nice suit, while I'm… naked. I blush and grab an article of clothing from the floor and cover my exposed body. Unfortunately the article of clothing I picked was a pink lacy bra. I throw it at Naruto.
"Please…GET OUT!"
"Ok, I'm going…" Naruto sighs
I head over to the bathroom and make sure Naruto isn't sneaking around. I close the door behind me and turn the shower on, the same one where I 'did it' with Naruto last night. I step into the shower and let the warm water run down my back. I lean against the wall in defeat and wonder what to do with my 'situation'.
At the moment, my feelings are messed up. My mind is bent on the idea of love.
What is it? Is it when you think about your partner all the time? Or when your heart beats really fast when you're next to the person? Or a feeling that makes you feel all warm inside? What is love?
I feel like pulling my hair out.
'That's it! This shower is driving me crazy!'
When I finally stepped out of the bathroom, Naruto's sitting on the couch in the kitchen-dining-living room.
"You took a long time." Naruto points out.
I shrug and look around for some sort of sign.
"You're food is on the table. I made it myself." Naruto smiles
I smile back, "I better not die from this."
I fork some bacon and bite into it.
"So?"
"Not bad."
Naruto smiles with that goofy grin of his...
10 minutes later, we're running out the apartment and entering Naruto's car.
There is an awkward silence during the ride to work. I'm trapped between Naruto and Sasuke. To make things worse, I don't even understand my own feelings anymore.
Once arrived, I get out of the car and tell Naruto to go ahead without me.
When he's out of sight, I sneak to the back of the building and let out a sigh when I'm sure no one is there. I slump down, head buried in my hands.
"I'm PATHETIC!" I scream.
"Why is that?" A husky voice asks.
I jump up in surprise. I turn my head to the right and find myself staring at my boss.
I sigh as I slouch down again, "I don't know. I don't know anything anymore. My feelings, I don't understand them anymore. It's one big mess."
Uchiha sits down next to me, "Hmm…"
"Wait, why am I telling you this?!" I exclaim
"Continue…" He says
"..."
"Listen, if we all knew what we are feeling, then we wouldn't make so many mistakes in our relationships."
"Yeah… I guess…"
"But you shouldn't worry too much… because there will always be people with you."
I turn my head to the side to see my boss staring at me. Then, I notice that the gap between our faces is getting smaller and smaller…
I can't take my eyes off of his lips… I close my eyes… Then a mental image of Naruto waving at me appears.
I suddenly open my eyes, "NO!"
I shove Sasuke away from me.
"…" He looks away.
"I'm sorry… I knew bad things would happen ever since I started seeing you… and yet I…"
"It's fine…" He coolly runs a hand through his hair.
'Wow… That's all he has to say… I was expecting him to say 'Give up Naruto and choose me! Or 'You'll regret your decision…' WHOA! What am I thinking? This is for the best anyway…'
"That's all you have to say…?" I gape.
'Geez… Now it sounds like I wanted him to kiss me.'
"What more do I need to say?" He looks at me with indifference.
"…I don't know… I thought I was more then a sex buddy to you…" I suddenly blurt out.
'Oops… I take that back! It sounds like I fancy Sasuke…'
"…You are…" He whispers in a barely audible voice.
I look into his eyes and sink deep into his dark orbs.
"I-I… I don't know anything anymore!" I cry.
Soon enough, I find myself embracing Sasuke. He silently strokes my hair and listens to me cry.
I look up to him.
He wipes my tears away with one finger.
I gaze into his mysterious orbs.
He pulls me closer to him…
Centimeters away…
Finally…
We kiss.
Normal POV
"Hey, Ino-chan." A lazy voice called.
"Yeah?" Ino looked up from her desk to see Shika.
"Isn't Sakura-san seeing Naruto-kun?" Shikamaru randomly asked
"Yeah… I heard from Naruto himself that he's crazy about Sakura."
"Hmm… So it wouldn't be right if Sasu-…. I mean, our boss was kissing Sakura-san?"
EDIT -- making normal POV in past tense, because present tense... is a drag.
